The Falcons needed to win, or at least put an impressive showing on the field against the Packers. They’ve needed to show some urgency and get some wins for weeks now, and arguably for seasons now, and when push comes to shove it never happens. The game against Green Bay was no exception.
Atlanta has been alternately righteously angry and snippy about the way this season has gone, the way last season went, and the way the season before went. There is always a reason to cite, whether it be injury or a change in coaching or a surprisingly game performance, for why this team is not what it’s supposed to be.
